Prank phone call harmless?
I called some peoplle with a voip service for some harmless fun with you kick my dog. I did this one time to each person and never called anyone twice. I didnt say i would kill you or anything threatening i said the d word a few times but not the f word. Some middle age man answerd one time and got really mad and sad the f word and he was going to call the cops. He lives in a state very far away from me. Could i get charged with anyting. I am a minor and very scared. I deleted the voip thing and am never going to crank call again. Any answers would be helpful. Can they trace voip calls if you only call once. I learned my lesson and am never going to prank call again.

Once my freind was over when we did it and he said that he was going to rip the guys face off at court. I hit him apologized to him The guy was still pised off. I tryed to calm him down but he hung up when he stated swearing! Police after me! Please Help! I will prank call u later! Promis

i would not sweat it at all dude. He s just trying to scare you. HE said that's just to get to you. Keep pranking dude. honestly if u ever went to Court for something like that u would just get a slap on the wrist no jail time or fines. U might get 20 hours of community service but that's not likely. By the way I'm a Federal prosecutor

WOW!!! I certainly hope you are NOT doing prank callS again and you say police are after you.hmmm. Yes they, the law, can START tracing the Voip phone calls, DEPEDNDING on where you live you will be charged with a crime....ps: more than likely your parents woulds have to bail you out. Stop ,if you are still doing them, the prank call and tell your parents right way. Yes you are in trouble,depending on your parents mood, BUT.....you got to get ready defend you in court spending big $$$$$ on lawyers etc..Good Luck!!

the thing is whilst to you its fun and only a joke. BUT what about the poor sod getting it.....I was at a friends house the other week for a funeral supper / thing after we can back from burying her mother and I was closest to the phone so picked it up when it rang and YEP there was some idiot being a complete **** down the phone.............all I can say is that I am glad it was me that got to the phone and not a family member as I think it would have just been too much to bear for them...................I dont know what if any punishment you an get for this but could you at least have a think about it and actually grow up enough to NOT do it again, plus with caller id these days and reverse phone look ups they JUST might do what I have done in the past which is call at about 3am and ask to speak to your parents..................I work odd hours so its no big deal for me BUT after your parents get a few complaints in the middle of the night I think you wont be having quite so much access to the phone any more..............

OK, calm down. You will be alright. First, you did it one time. Secondly, you didn't say anything too bad. Thirdly, there really is nothing that the cops can for a very minor case concerning prank phone calls. The man was just tryijng to scare you. However, just don't do it again, because it is annoyng. You'll see when you have your own phone one day.

Prank phone calls are *never* harmless. You have no way of knowing whether the person answering the phone has health issues, or is dealing with a recent death in the family, or any number of other factors that your prank call just made worse.

And yes, in many locals they are illegal. And, in this age of caller ID? Really, really stupid.

Delete away, they can still trace you. It is called Harrassing phone communications, and if the guy is in another state you have broken a federal law. Thats good for about 5 years no parole time. Enjoy your stay with bubba and the butt bois.

you most liekly wont ave anything happen to you... its a prank call not a bomb threat... the guy will get angry and thats it... as far as what can happen its very little.. this is just a prank, a minor disturbance that i doubt anyone would bother filing charges if any could be filed...

so just relax
